Description Reuben Martin 2018-05-11 02:53:43 UTC

This package is a build & runtime dependency for ffmpeg built with libsrt support.

libsrt is a transport that is tcp based, offers transport level encryption, and offers direct control over latency. It was recently open-sourced by Haivision under MPL-2.0 license. Support for it was added in ffmpeg-4.0

Technically it can be used to transport any generic data (it has been used by some as a file transport) but it was built with the intention of being utilized for a video streaming transport.


Reproducible: Always
